2.1 Solid Waste Management Plan

1. Solid waste management is one of the most essential services for maintaining the quality of life in the urban areas and for ensuring better standards of health and sanitation. In India, this service falls short of the desired level as the systems adopted are outdated and inefficient. Institutional weakness, shortage of human and financial resources, improper choice of technology, inadequate coverage and lack of short and long term planning are responsible of the inadequacy of services. Present Scenario in the district: In Godda District, there are Godda Nagar Parishad, Zila Parishad & (ULB) and 201 Gaon Panchayats. The ULBs on an average generates about 60 Metric Tonnes of waste per day. The quantities of waste are also growing with each passing year.

Objective To determine the maturity of the compsting sample 1. 35% perchoric acid (v/v) Reagents & 2. 2% Iodine solution Chemicals 3. Dissolve 4 gms of iodine (AR grade) and 8 gms of Potassium iodide in 500 ml distilled water 1. Weigh 1 gm of air dried sample in a 100 ml beaker 2. Add 20 ml of 35% perchloric acid beaker, keep the mixture to react for 20 minutes Method 3. Filter the slurry through Whatman No-542 filter paper in 250 ml conical flask 4. Add 2 ml of iodine solution to the filtrate and observe the colour change Results Golden Yellow Indicates Complete degradation Colour Reddish Brown Indicates incomplete degradation Colour Indicates no degradation Greenish Blue to Blue Colour 5.2 Carbon – Nitrogen Ration (CN Ratio) Test The Samples shall be tested for the C/N ratio (Organic water-soluble Carbon/Organic water-soluble nitrogen). The C/N ratio shall be less than 7. If this acceptance criteria is not fulfilled all the heaps of Residual Inert Matter is “not fit for landfilling” and further stabilization is required. They will be recycled back to the treatment facility. The Test of C/N Ratio will be carried out regularly on daily basis. The results of the tests should be documented on daily basis and certified by the Independent Consultant. The Analysis Procedure for finding the C/N Ratio for the MSW is based on the following Standards: Carbon/Nitrogen Ratio: IS 10158, 1982, Reaffirmed 1995, Serial No 4 and 6. The procedure as laid down in the standard to be followed. Waste Management Plan of Zila Parishad 6.1 The solid waste management would be done in panchyats following Decentralized Waste Management Systems and using components of intergrated Solid Waste Management System. The geography and most cost efficient method would be, to follow decentralized waste management system as the population of Godda is scattered and density is low. The houses are mostly made up of green materials with Puccka houses. The availability of land is not a constrain so we can treat waste in decentralized way. Most Preferred At Source Reduction & Rules Waste minimization and sustainable use/multi use of products [e.g. reuse of carry bags/packaging jars] Processing non-biodegradable waste to recover Recycling commercially valuable materials [e.g. plastic, paper, metal, glass and e-waste recycling] Processing organic waste to recover compost [e.g. windrow Composting composting, in-vessel composting, vermin composting] Recovering energy before final disposal of waste [e.g. Waste to Energy RDF, biomethanation, co-processing of combustible non- biodegradable dry fraction of MSW, incineration] Landfills Safe disposal of inert residual waste at sanitary landfills Least Preferred

Integrated Solid Waste Management System Hierarchy At source reduction and reuse: The most preferred option for waste management in the ISWM hierarchy is to prevent the generation of waste at various stages including in the design, production, packaging, use, and reuse of products. Waste prevention helps to reduce handling, treatment, and disposal costs and various environmental impacts such as leachate, air emissions, and generation of greenhouse gases (GHG). Minimization of waste generation at source and reuse of products are the most preferred waste prevention strategies. The finance for the waste management would be generated through convergence of central funds under Swachh Bharat Mission Grameen, MGNREGA and 15th FC. The model is decentralized so PRI members primarily mukhiya would be responsible for implementation of the waste management plan along with Village water and sanitation committee under the guidance of PHED department and district rural development agency. Solid Waste Management 6.2 Approach • Segregated waste is to be collected from source and non biodegradable waste sent to landfill site present in individual villages. • Recycling: Segregation of recyclable materials and recycling of constituents to the extent possible for various applications based on cost-effectiveness. Marketable recyclable waste to be sent sale in Godda (Electronic and E waste.) • Composting: Biodegradable waste to be sent to compost facility for converting into compost which forms as a valuable resource to support agriculture. • Vermi composting would be encouraged for turning waste to gold. • Market & slaughter house waste from the panchyats to be composted. • Utilizing construction debris & inerts for possible use as building material and filling low lying areas and construction of temporary connecting roads. • Landfill: All the inert waste and rejects from various technological options are sent to secured landfill for disposal. • Plastic waste would be send to land fill sites designated for each panchyats.

2. Hon’ble NGT in its order dtd 17/09/2019 in the OA No. 829/2019 ordered that no untreated sewage/industrial effluent be discharged into any water bodies. In this regard it is stated that the district has water bodies like River Gerua, Kanjhiya, Harna, Triveni, Dhibri, Sakri, Sunder, Kauwa, Shapin and Gumani which have all about 160 KM of stretch. In addition to these there is a Sunder dam and about 800 ponds and lakes which cover around 1500 Acres area. No costal area exists in this district. Steps have already been taken to prevent in throwing garbage and other solid and liquid waste in the water bodies either by public or by ULB/PRIs. GM, DI&CC Godda has already submitted a report stating the fact that there is no waste water producing industry in the district. 3. That, the occupier shall keep process effluent in close-circuit and quality of effluent from other sources in conformity with the standard (s) and the discharge quantity as below: SN Parameter Standard 1 Total Suspended Solids 100 mg/L 2 Oil & Grease 10 mg/L 3 BOD 30 mg/L 4 COD 250 mg/L

Guidelines For maintaining wholesomeness of water bodies after Idol Immersion on different festival occasions 4.1 Background : Many festivals such as Karma, Sarhul, Durga puja, Ganesh puja, Vishwakarma puja, Saraswati puja, Kali Puja, Chatthaetcare celebrated in the state of Jharkhand as a social and community activity. With time, the celebration of these festivals has changed in terms of their scale and involvement of people. The Idols are immersed in water bodies. Such water bodies include rivers, lakes, ponds, wells etc. Consequent pollution of such water bodies has been a matter of concern and there have been public interest litigations as well. In addition to silting, toxic chemicals used in making idols tend to leach out and pose serious problems of water pollution. Studies carried out to assess deterioration in water quality due to immersion of idols have revealed that water quality gets deteriotedin conductivity, biochemical oxygen demand and has concentration of heavy metals. 4.2 Guidelines and Recommendations. i. Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board (JSPCB) shall undertake water quality assessment preferably in Class-I cities (having population more than one lac). Water quality monitoring shall be conducted at three stages – pre-immersion, during immersion and post immersion. Considering the size of water body, an appropriate number of sampling locations shall be determined in order to get a fairly representative assessment of water quality. For ascertaining water quality, physicochemical parameters such as pH, Dissolved Oxygen, Bio-chemical oxygen demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, conductivity, turbidity, total dissolved solids, total solids and (cadmium, chromium, iron, nickel, lead, zinc and copper) may be analysed. ii. Efforts have to be made by local bodies to identify adequate number of designated immersion centers to avoid overcrowding and also to reduce pollution load on water bodies. Such places should be notified and adequate publicity arranged preferably a month before such festivals. iii. It would be appropriate to use traditional clay for idol making rather than baked clay. Use of painted idols should be discouraged. In case painted idols are used, water soluble and non-toxic natural dyes may be used. Use of toxic and non-degradable chemical dyes should be strictly prohibited. Natural colors used in food products and permitted in Pharmaceuticals may be preferred. iv. In order to create awareness among the devotees and Citizens, Local Bodies, shall undertake awareness programme in advance before the festivals and the conditions on immersion of idols or puja material should be spelled out in the permission itself. v. In order to protect the quality of water the places such as drinking water source should be avoided. vi. A co-ordination committee comprising District Administration, Police, Forest Officials, Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board (JSPCB), Non-Government Organization and representatives of religious groups may be set up for guiding the public in carrying out immersion with minimal adverse impacts on water bodies. vii. In case immersion of idols in rivers and lakes, arrangements may be made for construction of temporary confined ponds/bunds for the purpose of immersion of idols including disposal of material used for worship. After the completion of immersion, supernatant river water/pond water may be disposed in river/pond/lake after checking for colour and turbidity. If necessary, treatment should also be done prior to disposal. viii. Prior to immersion, worship material like, flowers, vastras (clothes), decorating material (made of paper and plastics), etc. should be removed. Such material may be separately collected either for recycling or composting if bio-degradable or for disposal, if non bio- degradable. The puja pandals may contact the local forest officials and hand over the bio-degradable material for further composting. ix. Within 24 hours of the immersion of idols, the left over material (near rivers, lakes, etc.) Should be collected by the local bodies and disposed of. If required, local body may levy costs. x. At the immersion sites, burning solid wastes should not be allowed. xi. People should be encouraged to go for smaller size idols. xii. Media should be educated about the ill effects of such activities on holy water bodies & encouraged to publicize these guidelines to minimize the adverse effects on water bodies.

8. Noise Pollution Management Plan

8.1 Noise can be defined as unwanted or undesired sound and Noise pollution simply means when there is a lot of noise in the environment which is consequentially harming the environment. Like smoking, noise pollution affects active and passive recipients when noise levels cross certain safe boundaries. Noise Pollution affects both human health and behavior. Noise pollution also impacts the health and well-being of wildlife. Most activities that cause pollution are essential to meet the needs of the growing population and development. Therefore preventive measures to minimize pollutants ate more practical than their elimination. 8.2 Noise Pollution Management plan for the district is as follows. Sl. Stake holders Action Points Strategy and approach No. responsible • PCB or its authorized Agency will conduct Noise level Monitoring. 1 Noise level Monitoring PCB • Monitoring equipment/noise measuring devices will be procured. • Categoriation of areas into industrial, commercial residential or silence 2 Categorization of areas areas/zones will be completed soon. PCB All EO of ULBs • Sign boards will be installed in Silent zones. • Loud speaker or a public address system will not allowed to be used without obtaining written permission from the authority. Restriction on use of loud District • A loud speaker or a public address 3 speakers/ PA system etc Administration system will not allowed to be used at and monitoring (SP, SDO, BDO) night (between 10.00 pm. To 6.00 a.m.) • Special team for monitoring during festivals. • DTO will take steps for monitoring/ Monitoring of polluting checking of vehicles to ensure 4 DTO vehicle environmental norms are followed by the vehicles. Dist 5 Creation of Awareness • Steps will be taken to make Administration/NGOs

8.3 According to notification No.-478 dated 07.02.2020 of Forest, Environment and climate change department, Jharkhand Government following Ambient Air Quality standard in respect of Noise has to be maintained :-

Limits in dB Area Code Category of Area/Zone Day Time Night Time (A) Industrial Area 75 70 (B) Commercial Area 65 55 (C) Residential Area 55 45

Note:-1. Day time means from 6.00 AM to 10.00 PM. 2. Night time means from 10.00 PM to 6.00 AM. For violation of above mentioned limits SDO, Police dept. (DSP) and Transport dept (DTO) will take action against the violators. No loudspeaker will be allowed at night time and no pressure horns will be allowed in vehicles except heavy vehicles running on Highways. 9. Conclusion

Efforts have been made to make a District Environmental Plan in line with the model District Environment Plan of CPCB covering the topics given therein. The users of this Plan should-bear in mind that this plan is not a-substitute to Govt. rules and regulations but skeletal framework with action points and roles and responsibilities of stakeholders. These are only suggestive but not exhaustive.
